chiu. thank you for being here, mayor lee. mr.or, we are all excited to have an opportunity to raise our city's minimum wage this november, and i'd like to thank you and your leadership on this issue. unfortunately, even with this potential increase on the horizon for many low-wage workers, many our workers face significant barriers to achieving economic stability and economic justice. chain stores also known as formula retail establishments are a major employment base for san francisco. there are approximately 1250 formula retail establishments in the city, accounting for about 12% of all of our retailers. the city has a strong interest in ensuring that the jobs created by these formula retail establishments are jobs that allow worker to meet basic needs and achieve economic security. however, these employers have increasingly moved to scheduling practices that relegate their workers to involuntary part-time status and leave these workers with unpredictable and unstable work schedules, which contribute to the economic insecurity
